Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher

I had the "Pleasure" of watching this movie on the Sci fi channel, some months ago and let me tell you this movie is awful, i warn anyone and everyone out there to avoid this movie, it seems to me this was a pilot for a doomed TV series, thank god because who wants to be watching tv and to hear " coming up next after hercules and xena and cleopatra 2525 Matthew Blackheart.

Bogeys beware! This is a made-for-television gem. Matthew Blackheart is a quirky mix between Captain America and a cocky Bruce Campbell. Matthew Blackheart was engineered by the government to fight nazi monsters known as Bogeys (that's the Captain America part). After a fifty-five year sleep (more Captain America), he is back it New York, cocky as hell, fighting Bogeys (that's where the Bruce Campbell part comes into play). The special effects are incredible, especially for made-for-TV stuff. The movie itself runs more like a pilot for a television series. And I'm surprised that it's not one. It leaves some unanswered questions and a very open ending. An excellent comic book movie nonetheless.

It's your average modern b-movie sci-fi but with excellent one-liner delivery. The actor that plays Blackheart, Rob Bogue, can deliver the comic book lines very well and could be 2nd choice to Bruce Campbell. I say this being a Campbell fan myself. All other counts are average for effects, acting, and music with nothing really good or bad. A- for 1-liners.---"Bogies..Hate'em"

Blackheart is one of the most interesting films that I've ever seen. The man behind it is Robert Engels, acclaimed writer of Twin Peaks. He weaves a very interesting story that is extremely campy and loads of fun.

Rob Bogue, Chris Heyerdahl, and Jay Baruchel all give great performances and the special effects are something to see, but the reason this film is so good is because of the script-

Don't miss this one 9.5/10

I caught this movie quite by accident and was drawn in. The character is campy, in a 40's tough (but nice) guy kind of way. His clean cut demeanor, and no nonsense attitude towards good and evil make the Matthew Blackheart character a continuously enjoyable phenomenon. This movie was like a cross between the Guyver and Evil Dead. Campy, but nonstop fun. Don't watch it if you don't like cheese, but those with the taste won't be disappointed.
